Famous Sayings

o_deadly furby · 05-24-2005, 01:33 AM

What's some of your favoite sayings?. Give us a saying, with credits, and lets's see what there is to learn.

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." – Oscar Wilde

o_|404|innoc-tpf- · 05-24-2005, 01:50 AM

"I don't believe in no-win scenarios" James Tiberius Kirk

o_general levy · 05-24-2005, 01:51 AM

"Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut."

From American Psycho.

this is the laugh out loud moment.

This is also classic Bateman:

Patrick Bateman: [voice-over] There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul's apartment overlooks the park... and is obviously more expensive than mine.

or how about....

Patrick Bateman: Ask me a question.
Daisy: What do you do?
Patrick Bateman: I'm into... well murders and executions mostly.
Daisy: Do you like it?
Patrick Bateman: It depends. Why?
Daisy: Because most guys I know who work with mergers an acquisitions really don't like it.

or something more profound from the legend that is Pat Bateman...

[all in unison]
Patrick Bateman, Craig McDermott, David Van Patten: There are no girls with good personalities.
David Van Patten: A good personality consists of a chick with a little hard body, who will satisfy all sexual demands without being too slutty about things, and who essentially will keep her dumb fucking mouth shut.
Craig McDermott: The only girls with good personalities who are smart or maybe funny or halfway intelligent or talented, though god knows what the fuck that means, are ugly chicks.
David Van Patten: Absolutely.
Craig McDermott: And this is because they have to make up for how fucking unnattractive they are.

or maybe geo-politics is your thing?

Patrick Bateman: Come on, Bryce. There are a lot more important problems than Sri Lanka to worry about.
Timothy Bryce: Like what?
Patrick Bateman: Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

How ironic!

Wanna preserve your looks? Pat Bateman has the answer to everything!!

Patrick Bateman: I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

and the final philosophical voice over, the victory of the socialist writer over his materialistic character:

Patrick Bateman: There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continuous to allude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

Pat Bateman is my idol. I wanna be just like him, without the murders and executions of course

The best quote ever is from Star Wars. I don't know why I like it either. But it's from the originals, when Star Wars was good.

"Mos Eisley spaceport, you will never find a more retchid hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." - Obi-Wan Kenobi

My favorite saying is

A wise man has something to say a fool has to say something.

All of these are from Despair.com

I don't recall that one but, here's one I do recall:

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

or:
"The amount of total Intelligence on the planet is a constant, it's just that the population is increasing"
